I had one of these when they first came out. It was cool for it's day, and was like a hiker's GPS as opposed to a car unit that doesn't have off-road information. Since you already have it, you might want to check to see if Garmin still offers map upgrades for it. If I remember correctly, it has a "bread crumbs" feature where it will remember you route, it could be handy getting back out if you're exploring an unfamiliar off-road area

No kidding. I test drove a number of cars before I bought my previous ride (BMW) and found how bad all the infotainment systems are: Ford Sync, Cadillac ...something..., BMW iDrive, etc. I ended up going sans-infotainment in my car because they were all so spotty. I do, however, think Android Auto and Apple Carplay will be around a while and remain useful - though I still favor an aftermarket deck.

Going to list the trailguide here tomorrow and ebay if no interest here and re-"invest" that in the TJ.

The only vehicle I’ve found that has a good infotainment system is the Tesla’s. But I guess when you’re spending that sort of money, you expect it! All the other ones I’ve tried are clunky and unintuitive.

ABOUT US

Produced from 1997-2006, many consider the Jeep Wrangler TJ to be the last "true" Wrangler. I started Jeep Wrangler TJ Forum as resource for TJ owners around the world to come together as a community and to have a place where we can be proud of our TJs.
